Craig- got the Euro E500 lights from Paul at Puma (http://www.puma-access.com).

Sometimes it's cheaper to get the Euro 500E lights, and then purchase the Euro E500 lenses IF you upgrade the grill.

I haven't dealt with VIP. I did use Able at Diamond Finish Auto Body (http://www.diamondfinishautobody.com) and he did an excellent job at a fair price. I would contact him.

The springs are easy to do IF you have a spring compressor. Since I don't, just give Colin at Muller & Goss a call.

Why don't we have lunch today or sometime this week?
